19th / 20th Century Sudanese Kaskara, Arabic / Islamic Scripts, sold

In good condition, a very nice Sudanese kaskara, the blade embellished with Arabic / Islamic scripts, complete with leather scabbard and hangers.

A great example of this iconic sword, no doubt bought back by a British officer / serviceman as a war trophy from the Sudan at the turn of the 19th Century.

The 32 1/4 inch blade has some light patina rust spots on it, but not too many; the etching still very clear and the blade firm in the hilt. The grip / hilt, sheath / scabbard and straps are all aged, but still there and sound enough.

A really well above average example and yours for only £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference J31 (1129). Further / full sized images available upon request.
